Wanda Sykes I'm An Entertainer (2023)
My quick rating - 7.0/10. You can always tell when work pops up. This was the first time I had ever seen her do a comedy set. She is pretty damn funny, to be honest. She sounds off on parenting with her French wife, the perils of public bathrooms, and why she's tired of going high when others go low. Good for an hour's worth of entertainment that won't take any form of mental strain to enjoy. As you can tell, Netflix is where to check this one out. Wanda Sykes I'm An Enterta

Stay Out Of The Basement (2023)
My quick rating - 3.3/10. All I know is "Mackenzie takes a job babysitting for a lonely young girl named Peyton, only to find out that something sinister may be happening in her home." It is really distracting when they hire actresses who look the same age to play various stages of adulthood. Between the mother and babysitter, Ariella Mossey , there couldn't be more than a couple of years between them. I felt like I was watching a school project the entire time at all levels

The Nice Guys (2016)
My quick rating - 7.8/10. Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling team up in an unlikely crime/mystery film that just works. The characters are acted out just the way they should be, which is often rare in buddy flicks. Crowe plays the heavy while Gosling plays the heavy drinker. They get paired up when Gosling is a Private detective working a case that Crowe inadvertently gets roped into. The two, of course, have no interest in working together, which adds to the comedy. This m

The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die (2023)
My quick rating - 6.5/10. I admittedly did NOT see the series when it was on the same streamer, so I am sure I will miss some of the nuances. Great sets and scenes. I can see that missing 5 seasons is leaving me a bit behind in the story as to why these wars are going on between these kings. But the battle scenes look well-choreographed and bloody. I am not sure if the lack of background from the show was the problem or the fact that things seemed to jump so quickly during th

Unearth (2020)
My quick rating - 4.1/10. I see they are pulling a bit of star power by getting Adrienne Barbeau in this one. This one runs for a good hour+ where you are watching a well-acted drama about the relationship between two neighboring farm families being strained when one of them chooses to lease their land to an oil and gas company. I had to check back and make sure I was watching the right movie since it was not fitting the role of "horror" at all and was doing quite well in th

The Best Man (2023)
My quick rating - 3.6/10. Appears to be another STV action flick starring Dolph Lundgren , which may or may not be a good thing depending on who you ask. Looks as though he and the rest of the wedding party are going to have to defend a group of mercenaries taking over the venue where Luke Wilson and Nicky Whelan are getting hitched. The initial lead-up to the siege is basically just showing the best man and the groom's best friend getting drunk, so the setup isn't all that

Wolf Mountain (2022)
My quick rating - 3.2/10. Let's see if my streak of horror flick deletions continues. Aj and his brother revisit the spot where their parents were killed. But legend has it that there is something mysterious roaming these woods. I wonder how they found such a group of unlikeable characters and put them all in the same movie? I am having a hard time choosing which one of these morons I want to die first. Good news, though, since they are all having sex right off the bat on the

John Mulaney: Baby J (2023)
My quick rating - 7.0/10. A chaotic intervention. An action-packed stay in rehab. After a weird couple of years, John Mulaney comes out swinging in his return to the stage. I enjoyed his style of presentation. A very matter-of-fact way of talking about his previous issues and making light of them. Pretty funny stuff.

Jimmy O. Yang: Guess How Much? (2023)
My quick rating - 6.0/10. This worked perfectly fine for the background as I did a motherboard swap. I had a few decent laughs, but nothing I would revisit. Good enough for a listen, though. He hit a couple of topics, including love languages, loser friends, and negotiating with his Asian parents. Currently streaming on Amazon Jimmy O. Yang: Guess How Much? (2023) #comedy #IMDB #Plex
